Backyardigans

My girls all loooove to play in the backyard, even if sometimes they all do their own thing.

I foolishly forgot to journal on this so ended up sticking it to the back of the layout after the fact.  LOL!

I used almost all of one sheet of patterned paper.  One side had the green pattern and the other had the yellow pattern and a sprinkler on it.  I didn't want to do a sprinkler page so I cut up the water and made it into the waves behind the flower.  The only extra patterned paper I used was the strip of purple behind the pictures.  I love double sided paper, it gives so much diversity to a page. However, I keep hearing people at crops say that they hate to cut it up because then they aren't using the other side or that they need to buy two pieces.  I say, use both sides on one page! Do you use both sides?
